NJ ALPlN'S PLAN.
Better Than lockout or Blacklist
The Result.


The Result.
Four hundred people draw their
weekly wages in the large tobacco
factory of d. II. McAlpin n Co.,
New York, the place whore the
famous " Virgin Leaf" tobacco is
made. Labor troubles have not af-
fccted Messrs. McAlpin's place, and
the workers there deem themselves
fortunate.
During the past winter and spring
Mr.. McAl pin, or rs he is more famll-
iarly termed, "thc old man." has
been enjoying very poor health. and
in order to recnperatc has travelled
in Europe, Florida and other places,
returning to his home at Morris
town, N. j., last week
On Saturday last at | O'Clock all
the employees of the firm were sum-
moned to the main floor, where they
found Mr.. McAlpin in waiting, and
with grave forebodings that the
troubles in the labor world had at
last found a haven in their midst,
they anXiously awaited The out come
Of the proceedings.
They were agreeably disappointed.
In a short and pithy speech Mr..
McAlpin dwelt upon the harmonious
relations existing between his en-
ploycs and himself and commended
them for the faithful discharge of
their duties, "and, said he, =" to
show that it is not unappreciated bv
me, hereby promise that every Sat
urday henceforth shall be a half
holiday without any deduction from
your pay, and in order that you may
enjoy to-day the first of these half
holidays Il have ordered my cashier
to pay you each a sum Of SS, rs a
slight token Of my high regard for
| your services
at first the employees were dumb
founded, but recovering from their
surprise at such an evidence of gen
croslty, they gave three hearty
cheers for the Mcssrs. McAlpin.
which we're repeated again and again,
after which the happy toilers went
to enjoy the delights which the
bounty of their employer had placed
within their reach.
This unsolicited act of kindness
on the part Of Mr.. McAlpin has
drawn commentator from working
men all over the city. They look
upon it Us an example that might
with profit be followed by firms
where competition IS not SO keen
and where profits are larger. while
the wage scale is infinitely less pro
portionate.
The employees now talk of retaliat-
ing by presenting Mr.. McAIpin with
a testimonial to express their graft
tude for his many kind acts, of
which this stands pre-eminently su-

ANARCHISTS.
Something Of Interest from Late
Issue of the New York "Sun."

Issue or the New York "Snn.
The New York .Snu, speaking of
the recent eviction of the miners
from the houses of the coal syndi-
cate near Pittsburg, Penn, says:
Dying women dragged ont to die; sick
children flung ont on dung-heaps; old
men tottering into the grave, sheltered
from the pitilcss blast in the snow clad
bitches; half naked children, shivering
and starving, driven out with cries and
lamentations from the shelter of a miser-
able roof and the poor comfort of fire,
AZ each family or occupant was I'M
housed, the obscene birds that hovered
in the track of the sheriff began their
work. Paratine oil was strewn over the
roof, the spark was applied, and soon the
shanty was roaring sheet of flame
Who are they that do these things?
Wild men of the forest? No.
Pagans? No.
Anarchists? No.
Communists? No.
Socialists? No.
Workingmen No.
Christians2 Yes, Christians!
Saviors of society and saviors of souls!
And they are leaders in their respective
churches, the Christians who do these
thlng-more savage than the savage,
more barbarons than the barbarian more
pagan than the pagan. Ignoring the
command to have mo strange gods be-
fore Me" they set up the god of proper
ty--property gotten no matter how--and
worship it. Commanded not to kill,
they hire assassins to kill for them. Com.
minded not to steal. they steal neverthe.
less in the sacred name of "Iaw and or.
der"
And yet the Snn upholds Il system
of society which permits such things
to be. Capitalism, not Christianity, G
is at the bottom of such outrages.

THE NEW ORDER.
Extract from "S0cial Studies by H.
Heber Nent0n.


!. What the form Of the new order shall
be, who dare minutely predict? This,
however, we may assuredly know: "that
body which shall be" will prove no res
direction of the material housing which
has been once and forever laid aside.
Nature does not go back to the grave to
pick up worn-out bodies. Continuing
the soul which in its infancy shaped the
body of. the past, it fashions round it,
matured and developed the body of the
future; a loftier likeness of the old in
the new, a transiigured organization.
Every organism is a Communism but
man iH not a reproduction Of the oyster.
Civilization turned once, in the far back
past, away from the Communism which
found no place for private property and
gave 10 play to lndividualism To re-
vert to That Communism would he retro
gression not progression, the return to
childhood in senility--in poverty if in
purity, in ignorance if in innocence
Not thus is man to become little child
that he may enter the kingdom of
heaven.
Ruskin finely says:
There is singular sense in which the
child may peculiarly be said to be father
OF the man. In many arts and attain
ments, the first and last stages of pro-
gress--the infancy and the consumma-
tion-have many features in common;
while the intermediate stages are wholly
unlike either and are furtliest from the
right. Childhood often holds a
truth with its feeble fingers which the
grasp of manhood cannot retain which
it is the pride of utmost age to recover.
This is the progress of the race: the
action of that law of circlllarity which,
urging civilization round yet also up,
brings society again into the same longti-
tude where once it anchored ages since,
but now in a far higher latitude; itf
symbol, the spiral. The world is sweep.
ing round into the meridian of Com.
munism, but it will prove the parallel of
a nobler ''ism" of common property than
that of the past. The Communism OF
the future will not do away with private
property, but will restrain it to health
ful proportions, will subordinate its ag-
gregate to the mass of wealth held in
common, and will guard against its re-
newed dangerous development by sub
soiling il with deep, wide, firm basis of
common property, held for the people
by cooperative associations, economic,
social and religious, and by the State.
In that commonage will probably be in
cluded all properties which shall prove
themselves, in the experience of mankind,
essential to the commonwealth, even,
if need be, up to the collective owner
ship of the land, the instruments of pro-
ductiop, and the means of exchange.

POOR IRELAND.

The wants and woes of Ireland are men acing and manifold The British govern ment has not yet resorted to the peace-pre- serving process of hanging men and wo- men for the wearing of the green, !" but it is coming to that. Balfour's brutal bill has gagged the expression of free speech; the constitutional right to complain against misgovernment is annulled; no Irish pa .triot can call his soul his own, and if any such should dare to say word for the country of his birth and the countrymen of his love and labors, the policeman's baton and bayonet, the keys of inhuman jailers and the abominations of Irish coun- ty prison cells are all at command and at hand to crush out the last spark of Irish patriot spirit. But that result has not come yet. They have consigned to felon quarters, and subjected to felon treatment the parliamentary representatives of the Irish people; but Lord Mayor Sullivan, and William O'Brien and the others in lurance or on the eve of it, will be more powerful propagandists of the Irish cause

People had regarded the End of December as a probable day for popular outbreak It was on the 2nd of December, 1852, Louis Napoleon commanded the "Great Crime, so graphically and indignantly described by Victor Hugo.

The Republican leaders had internal disturbances Out side Monarchy and Empire struggled for restoration. The followers of the Old Regime wanted the opportunity, but though apparently within grasp it has not come just yet. A new president has been elected in place of Grevy, who retired amidst mixed opinions on his merits. The new president has been accepted with favor How long will it last?

1RooUoIs, Dak, Dec. 5.-Yesterday after noon passenger train from the south got stuck in the snow near here and was fol lowed by passenger train from the east half a mile apart The former sent brake man back to flag, but the engineer had his cab window closed and did not see the sec ond train, and crashed into the hind coach telescoping it.

Nine were injured, but none killed. It was wonderful escape The rear coach, baggage and mail cars were smashe up. It took twelve hours to clear the track. The injured were cared for by physicians from Eoquois. The engineer oi the second train is blamed
